Pros:

The personnel were really nice, helpful as well as easy going. The room was really nice and spacious. We really liked the beds. Even the kids had a proper one. The location is really nice and quiet. It’s just a jump away from Isle of Skye. Breakfast was included in the booking price and it was really delicious and well prepared.

Cons:

Everything was really nice, except we would recommend a thicker curtains or a different attaching system.

Jederzeit wieder!
Pros:

Viele Parkplätze direkt vor dem Haus. Das Personal ist ausgesprochen freundlich. Das Zimmer hat alles was man braucht und ist sehr ruhig. Die Betten sind sehr bequem. Alles ist sehr sauber. Der Chef hat uns, nachdem wir spät eincheckten extra noch die Möglichkeit gegeben zu Abend zu essen. Das war sehr nett und das Essen ist ausgesprochen gut. Auch das Frühstück ist sehr gut. Wir hatten die Rühreier mit geräuchertem schottischem Lachs, der exzellent war.
Die Lage neben Eilean Donan Castle und die Nähe zur Sky Bridge machen das Hotel sehr attraktiv.
Für uns, nach einem Rodtrip durch Schottland eins der besten Hotels.in denen wir abgestiegen sind.

Cons:

Nichts

een hotel kamer die niet verhuurd moet worden
Pros:

eten was perfect en het personeel ook
waren zeer vriendelijk

Cons:

de kamer foto s op booking zijn misleidend kamer is ver beneden peil max 12 m2
waar moet ik beginnen wc / douche deur ging niet dicht , wc bril stuk een raam wat niet verduisterd , zeer warme kamer waar bijna geen ventilatie mogelijk was een ventilatortje was op zijn minst op zijn plaats geweest en geen tv
en daar bijna 400 euro voor 2 dagen voor betaald
deze kamer hoort niet op booking te staan onder 3 sterren 1 ster was voldoende geweest het eten en de vriendelijkheid trekt de sterren omhoog
en dat vind ik misleidend want je boekt de kamer niet voor t eten maar voor te overnachten

Pros:

Stedet er veldig sjarmerende og autentisk. Ligger flott til for dagsturer på Skye, men du må ha bil. Gåavstand til Donan Castle. Trivelig personale. God restaurant med dagens fisk.
